So you set up your pulls to well and learn your rotations. You do a lot more single target but that target darn well is dead before he can take more than a swing or two. Because it is less forgiving you have to be more forgiving… of each other as you run back fromt he graveyard.
Also you just simply can’t expect to do red quests. Stick with yellow ones and you will plow through them fast. Try some thing few levels high and you end up in a very frusturating wipe fest.

Charging in and killing them all can be fun but so can be sitting back at extreme range and going: ‘that one’ *FOOOM* ‘now that one’ *FOOOM* ‘ok this one’ *KABOOM!*

The gogogo pair is limited in that they HAVE to AOE packs or it takes a long time to do anything. So that is its own sort of risk. I don’t know that we died any less because being ‘invulnerable’ leads to a lot of risk taking.

You have to communicate well, pull carefully, and be prepared to die. Any one or even two mobs die. It’s when you get four that you are screwed. Having a pet class helps – voidwalker or hunter pets make good front men.
It can be frustrating, and I feel crippled without healing abilities (my last serious levelling projects have been druid, paladin, priest, shaman) but it’s fun to have to think about how you’re doing things.

My husband and I duo, but we always seem to choose something tanky and something healy — warrior/priest, shaman/paladin, druid/druid. How do you adjust for the clothies with no heals? Do you like it, or do you miss the gogogo of the survivable pairs?
